IDENTITY OF TERRORISTS IN THE UK
A "restricted" 12 June 2008 MI5
Around half were born in the UK, the majority are British nationals and the remainder, with a few exceptions, are here legally. Most UK terrorists are male, but women are often aware of their husbands', brothers' or sons' activities. While the majority are in their early to mid-20s when they become radicalised, a small but not insignificant minority first become involved in violent extremism at over the age of 30. Those involved in British terrorism have educational achievement ranging from total lack of qualifications to degree-level education. However, they are almost all employed in low-grade jobs.

UK Legislation against Terrorism
UK Legislation against Terrorism
The development of criminal legislation on combating terrorism in the UK,
The development of criminal legislation on combating terrorism in the UK,
The first direction was the publication of criminal laws applicable only in Northern Ireland:
The Northern Ireland (Emergency) Law of 1973;
the laws of 1975 and 1977 that amended the Northern Ireland (Emergency) Law of 1973;
The Northern Ireland (Young People) Act, 1974, which provided for the possibility of juveniles between the ages of 14 and 16 incarcerated in prisons awaiting trial, accused of committing various common crimes in the territory of Northern Ireland;
The Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1978 consolidated the norms of all previous legislation in this field;
The Northern Ireland (Emergency) Act of 1996
The rest of the territory of the United Kingdom was originally subject to other criminal laws. There acted the Law on the Prevention of Terrorism (temporary provisions) of 1974, and then - with the same title Laws of 1976 and 1984, by which the previous statutes were significantly amended and supplemented.

Accession to the European Convention
In 1978, in connection with the accession of the United Kingdom to the European Convention on the Suppression of Terrorism were issued the Law on the Suppression of Terrorism and the Law on Persons Subject to Protection under International Law containing a number of important provisions of a criminal law nature.

With the introduction of new legislation, there is no longer any need to preserve special provisions concerning Northern Ireland. The Northern Ireland (Emergency) Act of 1996 also completely ceased to exist.
In 2000, a new Law on Terrorism was adopted in Great Britain, with which the previous legislation was reformed and significantly supplemented. The Law of 1989 was abolished, but a significant part of its regulations (with a certain modification) entered into the new Law.
The Law on Counteracting Terrorism, Crime and Security was adopted in
The Law on Counteracting Terrorism, Crime and Security was adopted in
The 2001 law gave the government new powers in the field of: a) ensuring the possibility of collecting and exchanging information necessary to prevent terrorist acts between ministries; b) modernization of the immigration procedure; c) improving the security system for rail and air transport; e) strengthening of control over toxic substances, which can become the target of terrorist acts or can be used by terrorists.

Between 1971 and 2001, there were 430 terrorist-related deaths in Great Britain. Of these, 125 deaths were linked to the Northern Ireland conflict, and 305 deaths were linked to other causes – most of the latter deaths occurred in the Lockerbie bombing. Since 2001, there have been almost 100 terrorist-related deaths in Great Britain, the vast majority linked to Islamic jihad and religious extremism.

2017, 22 March: 2017 Westminster attack – Khalid Masood, a 52-year-old British man,
2017, 22 May: Manchester Arena bombing – A large explosion caused by Salman Abedi, a British suicide attacker of Libyan descent with a bomb at the Manchester Arena, Manchester, killing 22 individuals and injuring 250 at the end of an Ariana Grande concert. This was the worst terrorist attack in Britain since the 7/7 London bombings in 2005. Many of the 22 victims were children or teenagers, the youngest being an eight-year-old girl.
2010s overall counted 9 terrorist incidents
2017, 3 June: June 2017 London Bridge attack – Less than two weeks
2017, 3 June: June 2017 London Bridge attack – Less than two weeks
2017, 15 September: Parsons Green bombing – The London tube train was targeted and witnesses reported a flash and bang. Thirty people were injured, mostly with flash burns and crush injuries, but there were no fatalities. The threat level was raised to its highest point of critical soon after. Though treated as terrorism by investigators, there was not enough evidence of the attacker's motives, and he was charged and found guilty of attempted murder. A witness told the jury the attacker felt he had a duty to hate the British, for the death of his parents in Iraq. On 23 March, he was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 34 years; he will be eligible for parole on 23 March 2052. It has been claimed, in an article by Lizzie Dearden of The Independent, that the police missed or misinterpreted evidence indicating Hassan was inspired by ISIS.
Between 2000 and 2017, 126 people have been killed in the UK
Between 2000 and 2017, 126 people have been killed in the UK
This compares to 1,094 deaths in the 15-year period before that, between 1985 and 1999, and a further 2,211 between 1970 and 1984.
The worst year for terrorism-related deaths in the UK was 1988, when 372 people died. The majority of these died in the Lockerbie disaster, when 270 were killed as a Pan Am transatlantic flight was destroyed by a bomb.
Since 1970, Northern Ireland has seen the most terrorism-related deaths out of any nation in the UK, with IRA-related terrorism plaguing the nation for decades.
1972 saw the peak of this violence, with 353 people killed in Northern Ireland - out of a total of 368 in the whole of the UK.
Terror is killing far fewer people in the UK now than it was in the 1980s
